Woman of God yet? Take the quiz!

Last Saturday we were supposed to talk about Rebekah, but the quiz that we started with, took up most of our meeting time, so Rebekah will wait till next time, but meanwhile we had a very thought provoking time of looking at our own lives and how much we are integrating what we learn in God's Word into our daily lives. No one showed me all the results of their quiz, just a few groans and laughs let me know that there are plenty of aspects of our lives that are still a far cry from what God wants us to be.

Enjoy the audio link below and follow along. The quiz statements that you are supposed to rate yourself with are listed here. If the statement describes you perfectly, give yourself a 10. If it doesn't describe you at all, give yourself a 1. If you are somewhere in-between a "yes that's me" and a "I'm nothing like that" then assign a number to that statement that is closest to where you are at that moment, with 10 being the most like you and 1 being the least. (Hope that make sense!) Listen to the audio of last Saturday's Women's Breakfast in Houston and you'll get the picture.
